I finally got the 2x200W Rich solar panels installed on strut channel. All hooked up and working. I have another 2x200W Rich solar panels with 40A MPPT on the way. That will give me 800W and 2xMPPTx100V/40A. I decided to run 2 sets of 10ga wire from the roof, so each SCC will have its own wires to the roof.
I think I want to over panel both SCCs by adding a third panel to each circuit in series. So 3S x 2. Not really 3S/2P because I will be bringing down each 3S on the dedicated 10ga wires. That will give me 1200W of solar but I can only use about 1000W max due to the SCCs. I'm ok with that. I like the idea of over panelling because I will never tilt the panels.
My question is where should I put the third panel for each circuit? I can fit 12 panels on my roof. I am thinking adding them forward of the 4 I will have on the roof already. Appreciate your thoughts. Always helpful to get another set of eyes and idears.
